From: Bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis related Enterococcus cecorum isolates are genetically distinct from the commensal population and are more virulent in an embryo mortality model

Figure 3

Embryo mortality percentage for outbreak strains (n = 15) and strains isolated from healthy birds (n = 5). A Used strains were isolates derived from knee joint (blue, n = 4), caudal thoracic vertebrae (red, n = 1) and caeca (grey, n = 10) of diseased birds, and from the caeca of healthy birds (orange, n = 5). B The average mortality rate of broiler embryos was significantly different between isolates from the diseased as compared to healthy animals (***: p-value = 0.0001).
